Syntax like that is usually used within an init() method to set a passed
variable to the CFCs global variable scope to be used by other methods. When
a CFC is cached or called outside of a one shot invoke, this is a must to
prevent having to pass the variable in again and again.
For example, someone would do the following:
<CFSET objectreference=Createobject('component',
'testobject').init('datasourcename')>
<CFSET objectreference.getuser(userid)>
In the second line, there is no need to send in the datasource name as it
was sent in when the object was created.
